P-310 Handout, Prevention Team Final Report, Idaho
ExampleBackground In response to a marked increase in target
shooting and exploding target related fires
Idaho BLM is placing a priority on reducing the number of fire
starts from target
shooting by implementing the Shoot Responsibly – Idaho campaign.
The intended
outcome of this effort is to reduce the risk to life, property, and
resources by delivering a
central message from unified partners, and increase awareness of
the effects of careless
target shooting.
On May 10, 2018 the BLM implemented an annual Fire Prevention Order
throughout
Idaho to reduce the number of shooting caused wildfires and on
August 3, 2018, Fire
Restrictions were incrementally implemented throughout the majority
of the state. Fire
restrictions and temporary activity probations alone cannot prevent
the majority of
shooting related fires, a holistic, proactive approach that focuses
on informing and
educating people about careless target shooting was needed.
To help encourage personal responsibility and positively change
target shooting
behaviors, Shoot Responsibly – Idaho campaign materials,
educational toolkit and public
messaging was developed for use throughout the state.

cohesive messaging and coordinated target shooting education
strategies.
